About Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation
Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation Inc. puts most of its recent grantmaking into the Alpha Gamma Delta network itself, with the largest awards supporting the fraternity’s leadership infrastructure and chapter development programs. The biggest recent grant in the record, $77,487 in 2023, went to Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity for the Empower Leadership Program for the foundation’s most motivated leaders. In 2024 and 2025, similar grants followed for the same program, along with support for mental health programming, the Academy for Collegiate Officers, and the Leadership Consultant Program.
That internal emphasis runs alongside gifts for chapter housing corporations. Agd Fraternity Housing Corporation chapters such as Gamma Beta, Beta Xi, Beta Delta, Theta Iota, Rho, Beta Beta, Delta Theta Eag, and Epsilon received educational area grants for equipment and facilities tied to academic success. The foundation also funds hunger-relief work outside the sorority system, including grants to Meals on Wheels of America, Blessings in a Backpack Inc, and other regional food programs. Its latest 990 year on file is 2025, and annual grants totaled $1,794,190.
What Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation Funds
Leadership development is a clear theme. Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity received $61,865 in 2025 for the Academy for Collegiate Officers, described as coaching and development in leadership, engagement, and relationship building. The same year, the fraternity also received $17,635 for the Academy for Chapter Advisors, focused on mentoring college students.
The foundation also supports personal development and well-being. It gave $63,758 in 2024 and $19,500 in 2025 for mental health programs covering self-care, group dynamics, and managing uncertainty.
Educational technology and member learning appear as a separate line of support. In 2024, Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity received $38,624 for ACORN, a virtual learning and management system with training programs available to all members, and $35,100 in 2023 for virtual learning and training programs.
Hunger relief is another consistent area. Grants of $50,000 to Meals on Wheels of America and $20,000 to Blessings in a Backpack Inc show support for meal delivery and school-based hunger interventions.
How Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation Gives
Typical grants are moderate in size: the p25 is $6,000, the median is $10,000, and the p75 is $13,815. The pattern shows both recurring support and one-off awards. Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity appears across multiple years, with repeated grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for leadership, mental health, and learning systems. Chapter housing corporations also recur in successive years through educational area grants. The foundation funds as a grantmaker rather than through program-related investments, and it does not fund individuals. Unsolicited applications are accepted for several listed programs, including Fighting Hunger Grants, SIS Grants, Educational Area Grants, Disaster Relief Grants, Continuing Education Grants, Academic Scholarships, and Special Giving Scholarships.
